Comfort & Joy loose powder eyeshadow
There\'s something rather witchcrafty about this brand\'s enchanting concoctions – but rather than promise a magic potion and disappoint, the handmade products from this family-run enterprise are a dream come true. Having just discovered its 100% mineral shadows – in a sequence of vivid, captivating shades – which glide on beautifully and stay put, the magpie, and make-up lover in me, are sold

Benefit makeup
Benefit\'s mythology lies in the realm of glamour girls, jet-setters, movie stars and demanding divas – which is why we \'real\' women have fallen hook, line and sinker for its unique brand of tongue-in-cheek cosmetics. But this new range offers everyday make-up solutions – \'to match your lifestyle\' – and vintage-inspired packaging to fall in love with. So now all you need discover is, are you a natural Lana, glamorous Gabbi or dramatic Betty?

Agent Provocateur Eau de Parfum
Lush lingerie brand Agent Provocateur may have launched a series of titillating massage oils this season, but the original saffron, coriander, jasmine and vetiver-rich scent, locked within a sugary pink bottle, will always have a place at our dressing-table

Crabtree & Evelyn Jilt and Folly Perfume
There might once have been a time when C & E was known only for ornate hand soaps and gardenia room spray. But that time is not now. From organic ingredients in its mouth-watering Naturals range, to its super-chic collaboration with India Hicks for Island Living, Crabtree & Evelyn is setting pulses racing. But it\'s this pair of classic, interesting and beautifully bottled scents that we\'d like to have nestled amid our good lingerie – they\'re gorgeously grown-up, but not faintly fusty

For irrepressible product junkies, storage is key and if, like me, you\'ve also got a thing for adorable accessories, you\'ll go gaga for the latest make-up bag from French creator and fashion designer, Sophie Albou. This covetable vintage-chic bag takes its task seriously though – with removable pouches and pockets that will let you cart your kitsch around in style

The only beauty shop that mimics the experience of stumbling upon a stranger\'s boudoir also has a brand new website – perfect for late-night shopping sessions. If sexy skin\'s your thing, but packaging is the deal-maker, expect to become infatuated with the new Flawless Face collection. We can\'t get enough of the Bronzer Duo, £18 – not only does it contain crushed pearls, but the embossed packaging is precious too

Rose and Co lip salve
In a loveable silver ointment tin, this sweet-smelling, comforting concoction has gone on to become a best-seller. Far more than a pretty gimmick, all products are made from traditional, natural old-apothecary recipes in a quaint chemist\'s shop in Yorkshire. The fact that the range is now being sold worldwide and is a huge hit with the A-Listers just goes to show that most girls are suckers for some good, old-fashioned glamour
£5, www.johnlewis.com
